Wildly Organized
I was standing in line at one of those office superstores to buy a plastic file box as preparation (and motivation) for the annual ritual of cleaning up my files, and I happened to glance up at a huge poster with an incredible promise. There, within that very building, it claimed, was everything I needed to be "wildly organized".
Like all clever advertising, the idea had its appeal, particularly for someone trying to keep a lot of balls in the air, someone who felt just the opposite—confined and out of control.
But is it possible to be "wildly organized"?
“There has never been a time in history when you could be a business of one and compete as effectively as you can today. Technology has leveled the playing field, and being small actually gives you the advantage of being able to respond faster to change. Power is passing from the large organization to individuals who are willing to accept it.” (p. 119)
